Youngest of five, life began with its own set of unique challenges and obstacles. Brísingamen was brash and impulsive in his desire to be simply noticed, not as one of the Stokvik kits, but as an individual; especially in his mother's eye. Trouble followed the Viera well into his teen years before someone set him on the straight and narrow. After that, the next few years passed in a flash.
Inauguration came like a rushing wave onto the jungle village. The Wood-warders had returned, eager to reconnect with family and friends, and the tribe echoed their yearning with jubilation. It was bittersweet when the festivities ended. As per tradition, Brísingamen was of age to take on the mantle of Wood-ward, and thus, joined the band of male Viera back into the heart of their solitary.
The following years changed Brísingamen in ways he wished he'd never had to. He could no longer see the land for its lushes greens, haunted by the crimson of his fallen comrades, Brísingamen eventually lost faith in the Green Word and the Wood-warders in kind.
One night, the anxiety of spending another moment in this place brought Brísingamen to his feet, and he ran. Bare feet carried him till the damp, light feeling of moss below him turned to halting, hot sand. He did not allow himself to rest there. With heaving breaths, Brísingamen wandered among the coastline till he collapsed.
Whether by the grace of luck or pity from an ominous god, Brísingamen was found among the sand by a voyage of fishing boats, hailing from Yedlihmad, and brought aboard in the hope he'd recover.
Brísingamen eventually did bounce back, taking this narrow miss as a sign, he made a personal vow to start over henceforth. He took on the name of 'Baer' and embraced the Thavnair lifestyle.
Baer took up the trade of fishing, in honor of those who'd found him on the shore, and surprised local associates when he decided to train alongside the dancers; performing in shows to entertain and learning to fight after hours.
Life was quite good for a while till the desire to venture further beyond the borders of Thavnair tugged at his heartstrings and ocean fishing was an easy way out.
Behind the Scenes
Hey, hey, hey! I'm Ree (they/them), living on the west coast timezone PST. My schedule varies wildly during the weekdays but I'm available in-game RP later in the night on weekdays & weekends. However, I'm available daily on Discord for RP in-between work!
I'm 21+ in real life, meaning I will only be accepting rp with those 18+ regardless of theme(s)! I appreciate your understanding on this.
Please inform me if something I say or do makes you uncomfortable and/or if you're not having a good time. It's the last thing I'd ever want to do but, understandably, this can happen unintentionally. Speaking openly is my goal!
I would appreciate any discussion or idea toward severe injury, temporary/permanent disfigurement, or anything that could present trauma be mentioned ooc beforehand! Murder is a strict no.
In-game walk-ups are accepted if my RP tag is on or you can check in with a tell.

Hooks
Hook, Line, Sinker - As an avid fisherman, Baer can be found in all nooks and crannies of the aquatic world, honing his skills and collecting data for his journal. Perhaps you have a moment to spare?
Shut Up & Dance With Me - While the Viera doesn't perform publicly anymore, he's still a lover of the art. Should the mood take him, watch out, Baer may rope you into a dance with him!
Tribemates (But Not) - Baer is always interested in learning more about the world, especially how his sister tribes lived in different parts of the world.
Promised Hand - Before the weeks leading up to the men of the tribes' voyage into the deep jungle, Baer vowed himself to a few individuals upon his return; but he never did come back.
Gibs - Despite how well-traversed birds can be, a docile Seagull is still somewhat odd in most parts. If Gibs has wandered from Baer's side please point him in the right direction straight away.
Relations
Aeonian Expeditionary ProjectIn recent events, Baer has found comfort among the company halls of Aeonian, providing insight into sealife expeditions and discovering more of Eoreza in exchange. He's still slowly introducing himself to the company members as he relearns how to trust and rely on people again.
